Analysis of optimum condition for the suspension system with torsion bar spring

Torsion bar spring을 가진 현수장치에 대한 최적조건 해석

The spring constant and damping coefficient are vital factors of ride comfort and driving stability in the vibration of the vehicle which is mainly induced by a variety of the surface irregularity. This paper reviewed the optimum condition of the damping factor derived from the typical model of two mass-two degrees of freedom. Through the evaluation and discussion, it was presented that the spring of the torsion bar type was not effective for the driving stability in the large displacement of the wheel, and also that the damper with progressive performance has to be fundamentally selected to meet the requirement of the driving suability when this kind of spring is used as a suspension system of the vehicle.
